After An Tiantian and Ning Youlan arrived, the four-person foodie team immediately became active.
Ning Youlan still maintains the air of a female official, stern and conservative in actions, words and deeds. Nie Xiaoyao is generous and generous, a very normal beautiful girl, but An Tiantian is different, completely like a puppy like Sa Huan'er,
When they see snacks, they go up to have a look, smell them, ask what they are made of, and then start buying.
Every time when she wanted to pay, An Tiantian would turn to look at Fang Tianfeng, showing a sweet smile, occasionally giving her a wink, and even blowing a kiss when she was happy, and occasionally grabbing Fang Tianfeng's arm and shaking it coquettishly.
These snacks didn't cost much, so Fang Tianfeng happily paid for them. In fact, the women only tasted a few bites, and only ate more if they were particularly delicious. The three women together couldn't eat as much as Fang Tianfeng.
Soon, Ning Youlan, who had extremely strong self-control, stopped eating. Nie Xiaoyao was particularly happy today and ate more. The last one to stop was An Tiantian. If she hadn't been wearing thick clothes, she would have exposed her food.
Cute little belly.
An Tiantian was so full that she took Fang Tianfeng's arm and lazily walked forward together, wishing she could hang her whole body on Fang Tianfeng.
"Look at how lazy you are!" Fang Tianfeng said helplessly.
"It's just like this after eating too much. It's not like you don't know." An Tiantian said aggrievedly, but still didn't let go of Fang Tianfeng.
"Do you want me to carry you away?" Fang Tianfeng asked.
"Okay, okay!" A smile bloomed on An Tiantian's face.
"You are beautiful!" Fang Tianfeng said.
"No conscience!" An Tiantian complained softly.
After walking for a while, Nie Xiaoyao said: "This is Yuyuan Hutong. If you continue walking forward, you will find Jinghua Hutong."
Fang Tianfeng took a look. It said it was an alley, but it was actually the previous name. Now it looked no different from an ordinary street.
Several people walked forward together along the sidewalk, and soon came to an imposing gate.
The red door is open with blue tiles and red doors, and there are a total of nine vertical, seven horizontal and sixty-three yellow door nails nailed on the door, which represents the prince's home. Only the imperial palace can have nine vertical, nine horizontal and eighty-one door nails.
There is a majestic stone lion on each side of the main entrance. These two lions are as tall as a person. They are very old and appear to be ancient relics.
There are red lanterns hanging on both sides of the door, full of joy. To celebrate the New Year, there is a gold-rimmed and black-backed horizontal plaque directly above the door, with the three characters "Jinghua Hui" written on it.
There is no one at the door. Through the main entrance, you can see that it looks like a small garden inside. A gravel road divides the rockery gardens on both sides, surrounded by corridors and wing rooms. The corridors are filled with red lanterns. The architecture inside is completely in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. If
There were no figures in modern clothes walking around. At first glance, I would have thought it was from ancient times.
Fang Tianfeng looked at the time. It was still five minutes to six o'clock. He was about to call He Changxiong when he saw He Changxiong and a young man walking out.
He Changxiong strode over with a smile and said: "I was about to come out to wait for you, but I didn't expect you just arrived. Third sister-in-law, are you here too? Sister Tiantian is here? This is... the new sister-in-law?"
He Changxiong almost said that the three brothers and sisters would come together, but he changed his words tactfully.
"Who are your siblings?" An Tiantian complained with a red face, but she was not angry at all.
Nie Xiaoyao just smiled and didn't care about the joke.
Fang Tianfeng smiled and said: "Don't talk nonsense, why don't you introduce your friend?"
He Changxiong immediately put his arms around the shoulders of the young man next to him. He said with a smile: "This is my childhood. When I was in school in the capital, I played with Zhu Hongtao, who worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is Fang Tianfengfang, who I often call
Master, the most handsome guy and the most handsome guy in Dongjiang. Of course, the most handsome guy means he has many and beautiful women. If we look at how handsome a man is, I am the first."
Zhu Hongtao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to Fang Tianfeng, and said, "I have admired you for a long time, Changxiong has been praising you." However, he looked at Nie Xiaoyao calmly, with something a little strange in his eyes.
"You can't believe what he says." Fang Tianfeng smiled and shook hands with Zhu Hongtao.
He Changxiong said: "Third sister-in-law, I know you don't like to be with us, but since you are here, come in and sit down. Even if you don't give me face, you have to give Tianfeng face." After speaking, he glanced at Fang Tianfeng.
Before Fang Tianfeng could say anything, An Tiantian held her belly and said with bright eyes, "There must be more delicious food in a place like this, right?"
Nie Xiaoyao glanced at the plaque of Jinghua Club and Fang Tianfeng with a strange look. She had heard many things in the few months she had been in the capital. Most people could not enter a place like Jinghua Club. Her sister Nie Yao might be looking for
People can enter just by saying hello, but she is just an illegitimate daughter. If nothing happens, she will never be able to enter this door in her life.
Nie Xiaoyao originally had no desire to join such a top-notch circle, but since she came to the capital and heard people around her talking about the upper class society, she couldn't help but yearn for it.
However, reality hit her mercilessly. It was impossible for the Nie family to push her to a higher position, and even her former blind date was not qualified to come to Jinghua.
Nie Xiaoyao didn't expect that the person who led him to the door of the top club in the country would be Fang Tianfeng.
Nie Xiaoyao is quite contradictory. On the one hand, she is a little disgusted with those people who are superior, and on the other hand, she is a little envious.
Fang Tianfeng smiled and said: "Since we are here together, let's go in and have a seat."
Ning Youlan hesitated. As the top leader of a county, she had a lot of social activities, so she was particularly disgusted with this kind of place. However, she also understood that the people who could treat guests here must be of extraordinary status, which would be beneficial to her.
"Well, let's go in and sit down." Ning Youlan nodded.
"Let's go in together." After saying this, He Changxiong led the way and walked inside together.
Everyone entered the gate and walked along the gravel road.
There are three rooms on each side of the first courtyard at the entrance. The doors, windows, eaves, window grilles, etc. are all antique. Only the lights can be seen in the house, but no one can be seen inside. There is a woman standing at each door.
waiter.
At the end of the crossroads is a gate, and beyond it is the second courtyard.
This kind of building has several courtyards, which is called "several entrances". In ancient times, a large house with three entrances and three exits, a courtyard house, refers to a residence with three courtyards.
The second courtyard is similar to the first one, with six rooms, but the third courtyard is different. There are two-story ancient buildings on both sides and in the deepest part, which looks far more grand than the first two courtyards.
Fang Tianfeng asked as he walked: "This kind of top club pays more attention to sex, there should be other entrances, right?"
He Changxiong said: "What we see now are only buildings on the ground, and there are two floors underground. If members of the Jinghua Club require confidentiality, they will enter through the underground garage. For example, several rooms on the first floor of our third courtyard can be accessed from
There is direct access from the garage, no need to go through the main entrance. Different clubs have different styles, there are Western-style clubs for business purposes, there are very common golf clubs, and there are clubs with wine tasting or cigar themes. However, most clubs still focus on dinner parties. After all, we
Chinese people attach great importance to food, and dinner is the best place to make friends. Jinghua Club is famous for its antique and Chinese cuisine. Almost everything in it is antique. There is a saying that everything in Jinghua Club is old.
, only people are new.”
"Is the food here delicious?" An Tiantian asked in a low voice.
"I will definitely satisfy you. However, I would rather eat the more famous snacks. After all, the real purpose here is not to eat and drink, but to socialize and form a circle. In fact, many clubs have changed their taste. Nowadays, smaller self-built clubs are popular in Beijing.
Buy or rent a courtyard house within the Second Ring Road, and a small group of at most a dozen or twenty people can form a truly solid circle," said He Changxiong.
"I heard that there is a club in the Forbidden City?" Fang Tianfeng asked.
He Changxiong was stunned for a moment and said: "I won't go there anyway. It's boring to do some things. There is no feast that lasts forever, and there is no big tree that never falls. If you build a club and casino in that kind of place, sooner or later there will be problems."
"He Changxiong was obviously very dissatisfied with the behavior of some people treating the Forbidden City as their home, but he did not say much.
"As long as you have a clear mind." Fang Tianfeng said with a smile.
"Looking down on me again!" He Changxiong said with a smile.
Zhu Hongtao on the side looked calm on the surface and was secretly amazed in his heart. His family had a small background, but it was far behind compared to the He family. There were not many families of this level in the country.
Zhu Hongtao knew He Changxiong's temper very well. If a young man from a prominent family in the capital said to He Changxiong in this tone, "As long as you are clear-headed," He Changxiong would definitely become unhappy immediately. He Changxiong has never been a good man or woman. But now Fang Tianfeng said
He Changxiong was not offended at all by these words, which made Zhu Hongtao understand one thing.
"It turns out that Master Fang's status is higher than Changxiong, and more than one level higher." Zhu Hongtao thought to himself.
He Changxiong led everyone up to the second floor on the east side and stopped in front of a door. There was a word "C" written on the door. According to the arrangement of the twelve heavenly stems in ancient times, it was room number three, unlike many nowadays.
What kind of rooms are written on hotel private rooms?
He Changxiong opened the door and said with a smile: "Please come in."
Fang Tianfeng looked into the room. Not only was it antique outside, but the inside was also completely antique. There was a small hall in front of the door, blocked by a door curtain, and inside the door curtain was the main hall, with an Eight Immortals table inside.
Four people were sitting around the Eight Immortals table.
Everyone inside stood up and walked out together to greet him.
Both sides smiled when they met, and then He Changxiong introduced the four people to Fang Tianfeng one by one.
One is the boss of a software company, one is a manager at China Mobile Communications, and the other is the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. He Changxiong introduced these three people normally, but when he introduced the fourth person, he deliberately
He gave Fang Tianfeng a serious look.
"This is Xie Guodong, our old squad leader, a graduate of MIT, an upstart on Wall Street, and a financial tycoon." He Changxiong said with a smile.
Xie Guodong smiled and said: "Don't listen to Changxiong's nonsense, I am just a financial person. Hello, Master Fang, you are like thunder." After speaking, he stretched out his hand.
Fang Tianfeng shook hands with him, calmly and forcefully.
He Changxiong said before that one of his classmates was the grandson of the head of the Xie family, so he should be this one.
The Jie family ranks ninth among the top ten families and once ranked first.
